Package Wrapping is Important In Giving Christmas Gifts, Too PRETTY PACKAGES Gift wrapping is an art in itself. Some gals naturally have the knack and others are all thumbs. The fact remains that everyone likes to receive a well wrapped package. On many occasions at Christmas time, the wrapping is almost as important as the gift itself. To get down to cases, any present looks better in a box. Miscellaneous candy boxes, etc., can be pressed into service simply by covering the top with attractive paper. Don't overlook the possibilities of milk cartons, cigar boxes, or cracker boxes. Cushion the contents with tissue paper or cotton. GIFT WRAPPINGS Annaheim stores still have an ample supply of gift wrappings. Which to choose? If you are going to wrap a lot of packages, a roll of paper is the most economical because the paper can then be cut as needed. A strong paper will not tear at the corners and its use makes a nice, neat appearing package. Now then, if you choose a plain paper, you can use a wide range of decorations with it including figured ribbon. But if you have an assortment of the gay printed papers, then stick to plain ribbons with simplicity in decoration. The job will be easier for you if you have on hand scotch tape, Christmas seals, pins, paste, gift cards, and whatever else you fancy in the way of decoration. PERSONALITY PLUS Keep in mind the recipient's personal taste as well as your own. If he is sentimental about Christmas, it is best to shy away from sophisticated modern treatments. The reds and greens with sprig of evergreen at the carefully tied bow is traditional. Some other person on your list might enjoy the package done in black and gold finished off with fuschia ornaments. Jolly old St. Nick sets a theme packages and save the smaller prints for the little packages. This applies to ribbon widths, too, and is a guide as to the size of the bow and where to place it. Experimentation is good for the soul, so do use your own ideas on decorating as they pop into your mind. Fringe the ends of the ribbon or hold it smartly in place with staples or pins. Bits of lace, clusters of holly, a tree ornament or two are pretty accessories. Small gifts go along with a bigger one on the outside of the package such as the scarf ring or tie clip on the outside of a child's present of a cowboy suit. An inexpensive piece of jewelry or earrings clip nicely to the ribbon and are to be worn with the sweater inside. What about the box that is just too big for standard gift wrapping? Something like a tent or skis or a doll's house might be wrapped in a plastic table cloth, bright oil cloth or papered with a section of wall paper or the paper that comes in sheets to resemble fireplace brick. EUCALYPTUS Lucky are you if you have access to a eucalyptus tree. The dried branches with leaves and seed pods attached make lovely decorations and Christmas gifts as well. Any dried seed pods, branches or weeds of other varieties can be treated with a color coat to make lasting decorations about the house. Arrange the material to be colored in several separate piles on newspaper, preferably on the floor of the garage. Fill a hand spray (an ordinary sprayer for insects will do) with aluminum paint. Spray each pile thoroughly with the aluminum and let dry. Then spray each with a fine spray of colored lacquer, using a different color on each pile. When dry, combine the colored sprays in a lovely arrangement.

Some other person on your list might enjoy the package done in black and gold finished off with fuschia ornaments. Jolly old St. Nick sets a theme of Christmas stocking, chimney, wreath and bag of toys that is excellent when used alone but should not be combined with the religiously significant angels, slepherds, choir boys and scenes of the nativity. The main thing here is to be guided by the pleasure of the person who is to receive the gift. GOOD DESIGN Put your big design on the big oared in several separate piles on newspaper, preferably on the floor of the garage. Fill a hand spray (an ordinary sprayer for insects will do) with aluminum paint. Spray each pile thoroughly with the aluminum and let dry. Then spray each with a fine spray of colored lacquer, using a different color on each pile. When dry, combine the colored sprays in a lovely arrangement. WINTER BOUQUET Another way to make a beautiful winter bouquet is to dip bare branch seed pots, etc., into a smooth, dilute with boiling later three tablespoons of laundry starch with cold water. When the starch-water combination is smooth, dilute with boiling gwater until just thick enough to adhere to the branches. Dip the branches and shake off the excess. Dip into glitter or artificial snow. Dry over night and arrange as desired. Is $180 ADA Sufficient? State School Superintendent Inquires SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The question of whether the State Department of Education should ask the 1953 legislature for additional state school aid money over and above the new constitutional guarantee of $180 per average daily pupil attendance was presented to the Advisory committee on School Finances by Roy E. Simpson, state superintendent of public instruction, at a meeting held here. The issue is, Simpson said, whether the cost of educating physically and mentally handicapped children, school transportation, equalization between districts and other miscellaneous services should come out of finances based on $180 ADA, as approved by the people in Proposition 2, or whether the legislature should contribute additional money. Simpson asked the group to help him determine just what the people intended when they upped the constitutional limitation on state aid to education. Until Proposition 2 passed, the legislature had supplemented constitutional aid to the schools as necessary, and also appropriated additional funds for equalizing the amounts of money between the richer and poorer districts. The question drew mixed reaction from members of the advisory committee, who represented various educational and commercial groups. Arthur Corey, head of the California Teachers Association which sponsored No. 2, said his organization did not favor using the 1953 legislature for any money in addition to the $180. He added that this view is limited to the 1953 legislative session. Asked if CTA would go on record as instructing the 1953 legislature not to appropriate additional funds, Corey said "definitely not." Federal Flood Control Lease Funds Disbursement SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Controller Thomas H. Kuchler distributed $54,758.75 to four formla counties in payment per cent of moneys received by the federal government leases of federal flood control lands in the counties. The distribution was as follows: Los Angeles county, $28,326; Riverside, $13,169.22; San Bernardino, $12,814.18; and Orlando, $432.85. The federal flood control a member of Kuchler's office plained, provides that such money may prescribe for benefit of local schools and roads of county in which leased lands are ceded. Until Proposition 2 passed, the legislature had supplemented constitutional aid to the schools as necessary, and also appropriated additional funds for equalizing the amounts of money between the richer and poorer districts. The question drew mixed reaction from members of the advisory committee, who represented various educational and commercial groups. Geroge Wilson, Clarksburg, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, voiced vigorous opposition to the idea of asking the legislature for additional funds. He said that at no time during the recent campaign on Proposition No. 2 did he or his organization hear that the full $180 would be needed by the state's educators in 1953. Wilson stated he understood the $180 limitation was to take care of school needs for years to come, without additional aid from the legislature. He called Simpson's laying of the question before the advisory group a "ridiculous procedure." Alden Fensil, San Francisco, speaking for the state chamber of commitee, declared the chamber, when it backed Proposition 2, understood the absolute maximum in state aid for operation of California's school would be the $180 ADA allotment. Simpson commented it was not his nor the committee's province to discuss how school aid funds should be raised, but rather to determine school needs and present them to the legislature for consideration. Stating the people have demanded more money for education. "SCIENTIFIC CHRISTMAS TREE" at Northrop-Anaheim... A chemical slant on holiday decorations is provided by this unique Christmas tree, a lunch hour project by process engineers at Northrop Aircraft's Anaheim division. Words describing the chemicals, containers and other bits and pieces used to form this unusual "tree" are pretended tongue-twisting items. For instance, Lee Mueller, 842 Eucid, Anaheim, is shown pouring a solution of trichloroethylene into a test tube to achieve the proper note color in one of the glass "ornaments." Trunk of the "tree" is a metal ring stand used to hold containers during chemical experiments. Glass wool provides the flowing snow-like effect with aluminum-waste machine shaving used as top dressing. Clamped on the stand are drying tubes, viscosity flasks an test tubes. An aluminum foil sheet at the top completes the arrangement. You might recognize these names, but just to satisfy your curiosity here are a few of the chemicals used as decorations: potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, phenolphthalein, bromothymol-purple, methyl-red and nickel acetate.
